Abstract
A method and system method to detect a leak within a pipeline network include measuring pressure at each of a plurality of sensors distributed along the pipeline network as a time-varying pressure signal. Tuning a model is based on gas mass conservation law in the absence of the leak, the tuning including obtaining the time-varying pressure signal from each of the plurality of sensors, and monitoring the time-varying pressure signals is done to detect the leak based on the model.
